Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Chapter 214: Surprised Koizumi Akako; Conan: Big, dangerous!

"Ah!"

At this moment, Kaito, who had already returned home, sneezed suddenly.

"Who's talking about me? Is it Qingzi? Well, let's go check on Qingzi."

How could he have guessed that the person who was thinking about him in his heart was his childhood sweetheart, his old father.

There's nothing I can do. Who was it that made Aoko's father suffer so badly? I stayed in the car all night just to see Kidd.

So, where was that damn Kaito? He actually stood up! He only left an April Fool's Day joke card on the roof, telling Ginzo Nakamori that he'd been tricked. The code was fake, the pearls were fake, and his appearance was fake too!

How could Ginzo Nakamori, who had finally cracked the code with his own wisdom, accept this?

However, Kaito said that he couldn't do anything about it!

Originally, he planned to go there early to act out a scene, mock the police, and clear himself of the grievances. However, not only was his identity exposed, but he also learned a lot of secrets!

The result was that he even forgot that he had not yet scanned his face in front of the police and left.

Even the card that Ginzo Nakamori saw was the one he put up temporarily after he remembered that he had forgotten that he had an unfinished performance.

If he hadn't suddenly remembered it, when Nakamori Ginzo went to the rooftop, not only Kaito, but even the card would not have been discovered!

Just when Kaito was thinking about something happily, someone knocked on his door again.

"Here you are, who is it... Hongzi, why is it you again!"

Seeing Koizumi Anko smiling outside the door, Kaito spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone. However, after talking with Conan, he also half believed and half doubted Koizumi Anko's identity as a witch.

Therefore, the time his gaze stayed on Hongzi was slightly prolonged.

......

In the early hours of the morning, after discussing with Conan and confirming that he could appear on the Queen Celestia using the big name Kudo Shinichi, Conan also took out some other food, put it on the grill, and started eating barbecue with Kaito.

While eating, the two chatted:

"By the way, Kudo, why did you want to meet that troublesome woman, Koizumi Anko? You don't really believe she's some so-called witch, do you? Even a Phantom Thief like me doesn't believe in so-called magicians in the world, and you, a detective, actually believe in that?"

That's right, for Kaito right now, Anko represents trouble. Every time he encounters this woman, he encounters all sorts of unexpected situations! As for magic, in his opinion, it's just a trick created by some trickery.

If Conan had not read the script and knew that Hongzi did have some extraordinary abilities, and that she was a native local, he would not have believed that there was magic in the world.

However, because he had read the script and knew Hongzi's specialness, and there were some very magical prophets in Conan, Conan still had great hope that Hongzi would master magical skills.

However, after hearing Kaito's words, he had a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"Kaito, no, I'm a detective, and since I became smaller due to the effects of drugs, it's understandable that I doubt there's any magic in this world.

But you're a phantom thief, and you're looking for the legendary jewel that can make people immortal. So you doubt magic, isn't that a little unreasonable? "

That's right, although the scripts that Conan experienced included magical physical abilities such as breaking telephone poles with bare hands, reacting to rifle bullets, kicking satellites with footballs, and there were also some mysterious fortune tellers who could predict facts, but these abilities were basically not too surreal.

Even the drug that made him smaller, although unscientific, was a product supported by scientific theory.

The Pandora Kidd was looking for was practically a legendary entity. It turned red when facing the moon, and during a full moon, a red gem would drip a liquid that grants immortality. It was beyond scientific explanation.

"this......"

Kaito fell silent after hearing Conan's words. It seemed like this was indeed the case. Not to mention the bizarre abilities that Hongzi had displayed before him, the legendary gem Pandora alone defied all materialism to explain.

"Could it be that Hongzi really knows magic?"

"Well, I don't know. However, I'm very interested in getting to know the witch who claims to be the heir of red magic."

Conan wasn't sure if Hongzi still knew magic on his set, but even if she didn't, her ability to predict the future was worth seeing.

......

Time returns to the present.

Kaito's gaze on Hongzi prolonged slightly as he recalled what he had said to Conan. Hongzi, perceptive enough to notice Kaito's gaze, also smiled.

"Hahahaha, Kaito-kun, could it be that you've finally fallen for me?!"

"No! But you, what are you doing here?!"

Listening to Hongzi's narcissistic speech, Kaito frowned and spoke unhappily.

Sure enough, no matter whether this young lady is a witch or not, I really can't accept her personality!

"Me? Of course I came to see if you'd been arrested! I didn't expect you to come back safely. Could it be that your identity was saved?"

Looking at the unharmed Kaito in front of her, Hongzi felt somewhat puzzled.

According to her prediction, Kaito should have revealed his identity, right?

However, when Kaito heard her talk about the so-called prophecy, his face instantly darkened.

"Sure enough, the witch and the prophecy are all fake! You call that exposing your identity? That's just a dimensionality reduction attack!"

With this thought, Kaito's voice also took on a hint of hostility:

"I failed to keep it and was discovered. However, your prophecy didn't seem to tell you that the person who exposed my identity knew my true identity from the beginning!"

Although he had never admitted in person in front of Anko that he was Kid, Conan had already specifically asked for Anko, and he also had some doubts about whether Anko really knew magic, so Kaito also implicitly acknowledged that he was Kid.

"impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Hongzi's face flickered with surprise. Even she had only confirmed Kaito's identity through divination, so how could anyone else know?!

"Believe it or not, after I showed up there yesterday, that brat had already prepared several grilled fish waiting for me!"

As he spoke, Kaito's face darkened even more, obviously remembering his experience last night.

"This... Sorry, I have to leave first."

Hongzi frowned at Kaito's words and quickly left. She wanted to go back and consult a fortune teller to find out what had happened.

"By the way, that guy asked me to tell you that he wants to meet you. Maybe he wants to learn about so-called magic."

Kaito hurriedly said as Anko was about to leave.

"I see."

At this moment, Hongzi's mind was not on Kaito at all. Her mind was full of why what happened was different from what she had predicted.

She didn't even hear what Kaito said and just left.

Kaito shrugged as he watched Anko hurried away.

"I think that's fine. Anyway, I've brought the message home. As for whether Hongzi goes or not, that has nothing to do with me."

Thinking of this, Kaito closed the door and began to prepare for the performance on the 19th.

Although he plans to appear as Kudo Shinichi, at most he does not need to disguise himself or prepare costumes. If he wants to steal the Black Star, he also needs to study some methods.

As time went by, it soon arrived on April 4th...Oh my god!

Looking at the crowd preparing to attend the 60th anniversary celebration of the Suzuki Group, Conan wondered if he had lost his memory. Clearly, in his memory, he had just met Kid yesterday! And it was clearly April 4st just the day before yesterday!

"I know time jumps happen, but isn't this jump a bit too fast?"

With only two or three days to spare, could the original Kidd really investigate Suzuki Tomoko's tactics, devise a strategy, and even get the exact same clothes as Ran in just those few days?! It's impossible!

"So, is this the only timeline I don't know about? In this timeline, does Conan go to school normally and Kaito collect intelligence normally? Forget it, it's better not to take this outrageous idea seriously."

Throwing this outrageous idea out of his mind, Conan looked at Ran, Maori and Ai who were preparing their dresses, then looked at his iconic blue suit. After hesitating for a moment, he took off the clothes.

There was no way. Although the police would not suspect that Kid had disguised himself as a child, since Kaito was going to appear under his identity, he would definitely wear that suit.

He doesn't want to wear the same clothes as Kidd!

Thinking of this, Conan changed into a suit of another color.

Well, it was a formal occasion after all, so we should dress more formally. After all, even Uncle Maori had changed into a suit.

Ai, who had changed into an evening dress, looked at Conan and said with interest:

"Why, great detective, you always like to wear a suit, but when it comes to a crucial occasion, you have to change into another one?"

"You know the situation, Kidd said he'd pretend to be me and show up on the ship. I can't wear the same clothes as him!"

Conan rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have allowed Kaito to use his identity! Now, he can't even wear his most common clothes!

"Is that so? Then have you told Xiaolan about this? She probably doesn't know about the agreement you reached with Kidd."

Looking at Conan who was lacking interest, Ai said nonchalantly.

"?! I forgot about this! I'm going to tell Xiaolan right now!"

Conan originally thought that he had a month's buffer time, which was enough time for him to explain the situation to Xiaolan, but he never expected that a month would have passed in just two days.

Therefore, he completely forgot to mention this to Xiaolan!

Fearing that Xiaolan would have another misunderstanding, Conan exposed Kaito's identity and ran towards Xiaolan in a hurry.

Watching Conan leave, the smile on Ai's face faded a little, and she sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, in his heart, Xiaolan is the most important?

Ai, who selectively forgot the two times Conan took her out overnight, sighed in her heart.

On the other side, Conan, who had finally explained to Xiaolan that he had reached a certain agreement with Kidd and that he promised that Kidd would not steal the Black Star, suddenly sneezed.

"? Who's talking about me again? Kaito? Damn Kaito, you made me so panicked, just swim back honestly!"

After muttering a few words, Conan began to think about how to deal with Kaito next.

Kaito, who honestly did nothing, asks: Who did I offend again?

Next to the Queen Celestia, Officer Nakamori looked at the magnificent cruise ship in front of him and the big guys he couldn't afford to offend walking towards the ship, his heart full of resentment.

"Damn it! We knew Kidd was going to steal the pearl today, but we couldn't carefully check every passenger who came. Isn't this just handing the Black Star to Kidd?!"

"You can't say that, Nakamori. Everyone attending the party tonight is a celebrity. If, as you said, everyone were to check if he had disguised himself, then our Metropolitan Police Department, especially your position as Nakamori, would probably have to be replaced by someone else."

Officer Chaki looked at the angry Nakamori and comforted him.

He didn't want to do such a perfunctory inspection, but there were many celebrities among the guests whom they couldn't afford to offend!

"Damn it! Huh? Um, is that Kaito kid?"

Just when Nakamori was angry, he suddenly saw a familiar face.

(Conan: My big one is broken!)
